About this home
Green Cove Springs
The Hayden+ is a spacious and thoughtfully designed two-story home offering approximately 2,499 square feet of flexible living space with five bedrooms, three full bathrooms, and a two-car garage, making it an excellent choice for growing or multi-generational households. As you enter the home, you are welcomed by a bright front den that works beautifully as a home office, study, or quiet sitting area. The main living space opens into a generous gathering room that connects seamlessly to the dining nook and kitchen, creating an ideal layout for both daily life and entertaining. The room is full of natural sunlight with large windows and volume ceilings. The kitchen is designed as the center of the home, featuring a large island that provides plenty of room for meal preparation, casual dining, and gathering with family and guests. A private bedroom and full bathroom on the first floor offer a convenient space for overnight visitors or a dedicated workspace.
Cost to own
True monthly cost
What this home actually costs per month at the asking price — not just the mortgage.
- • Homeowners insurance is on top — in Florida it varies widely with roof age and wind/flood zone (see the Reality Check below). Budget it before you offer.
- • In CDD communities (Nocatee, eTown, Seven Pines…), bond assessments are collected on the property-tax bill, and the amount varies home to home — a prior owner may have prepaid the bond — so we confirm this home’s exact line rather than trust a community average.
- • Taxes are estimated at YOUR purchase price — Florida assessments reset on sale, so the seller’s current bill is usually lower than yours will be.

Storms & insurance
Florida Reality Check
The storm-and-insurance facts every Florida buyer should know up front.
Zone X — minimal flood hazard
Flood insurance is typically not required by lenders (always optional).
Flood damage is not covered by standard homeowners insurance — it’s always a separate policy.
Outside all hurricane evacuation zones
This location is not in a designated storm-surge evacuation zone.
Roof: Shingle — year not disclosed (home built 2026)
Roof age drives Florida insurance pricing more than anything else — worth confirming before you offer.
Solar potential: ~1,658 usable sun-hours per year
A strong solar roof by Florida standards — worth pricing panels if energy bills matter to you.
Krista can connect you with local insurance quotes before you make an offer.
As of September 2026, this Reality Check is informational only — it draws on FEMA/FDEM hazard layers, Florida DOH water records, and the listing’s own fields, read at the listing’s map pin or, on lots of an acre or more, across the county parcel (state cadastral). A zone shown for part of a lot may not be where the home stands. None of it is a determination, survey, or inspection, and public records can lag or conflict with on-site conditions. Independently verify anything you’ll rely on: the flood zone at msc.fema.gov and floridadisaster.org/knowyourzone (and confirm flood-insurance cost with your lender and a licensed insurance agent), and the sewer/septic, roof, and utilities with a professional inspection.
